First and foremost, do your research!
UCEAP has so many different options, whether it’s your destination, time of year, or subject matter. As a UC student, it is imperative for you to decide you want to go abroad as soon as possible in your academic career. This is so you can make sure to plan your classes ahead of time and ensure that going abroad won’t put you behind in graduating. Personally, I started looking at and researching programs during the spring of my freshman year and didn’t go abroad until the winter of my junior year.
Utilize your Resources
